Another day has gone,
2
I'm still all alone How could this be,
3
when you're not here with me You never said goodbye Someone tell me why
4
Did you have to go And leave my world so cold
5
Every day I sit and ask myself How did I slip away There's something whispers in my ear and says
6
That you are not alone I am here with you Though you're far away I am here to stay
7
You are not alone I am given to you Though with far apart You're always in my heart,
8
but girl I'm not alone Alone, alone, why alone?
9
Just the other night, I thought I heard you cry Asking me to come,
10
and to hold you in my arms I can hear your prayers,
11
your burdens I will bend But first I need your hand Then forever can't begin
12
Every day I say to that to myself How did I say to that?
13
Something was in my ear and says But you are not alone I am here with you
14
Though you're far away I am here to stay But you are not alone
15
But I am here with you Though you're far apart You're always in my heart
16
But you are not alone Whisper three words and I'll come running
17
And I, and girl, you know that I'll be there I'll be there
18
You are not alone, but I am here with you Though you're far away,
19
I am here to stay You are not alone,
20
but I am here with you Though we're far apart,
21
you're always in my heart But you are not alone I am here with you
22
Though you're far away I am here to stay But you are not alone I am here with you
23
Throw me far apart Always in my heart You are not alone You are not alone
24
You are not alone Say it again You are not alone I'm not alone,
25
not alone, not alone You just reach out to me girl,
26
in the morning, in the evening Not alone,
27
not alone, you and me,
28
not alone We go together,
29
together We get that feeling alone

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
